A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

For me:

  • Breath of the Wild: 400 hours in, have done only 50% of the game. But now that TotK is out, I'm not sure if I'll ever complete BotW. Perhaps if I'm stuck on a deserted island with my Switch and have nothing better to do, I may pick it up again.

  • Skyrim: Countless hours, never really done much of the main storyline, always get lost in modding and optimising the game. Own it on practically all platforms too. But one of these days, I'll get to the main quest...

  • Dangerous Dave: Been playing this DOS game on and off since 1990 but still haven't managed to beat it. I always die around level 6/7, blasted sun keeps killing me.

Witcher 3, Oblivion and Skyrim. I always get caught up doing the sidequests. And I don't even play around with mods (yet).

I have kids and am middle aged, so I can only do main quests in the limited free time I have. It has its pluses and minuses, but I miss that period between 15 and 22 when I could dedicate all my weekends and evenings to gaming

Yeah, I miss that period too. But I'm a completionist, so even without having the time on weekends and evenings, I still go out exploring the map and doing sidequests. That's why I don't finish those games...
